Summary

The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c in the Linux kernel before 4.18.1 does not always fill RSB upon a context switch, which makes it easier for attackers to conduct userspace-userspace spectreRSB attacks.

    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks. - CVE-2018-6554 A memory leak in the irda_bind function in the irda subsystem was discovered. A local user can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service (memory consumption). - CVE-2018-6555 A flaw was discovered in the irda_setsockopt function in the irda subsystem, allowing a local user to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash). - CVE-2018-7755 Brian Belleville discovered a flaw in the fd_locked_ioctl function in the floppy driver in the Linux kernel. The floppy driver copies a kernel pointer to user memory in response to the FDGETPRM ioctl. A local user with access to a floppy drive device can take advantage of this flaw to discover the location kernel code and data. - CVE-2018-9363 It was discovered that the Bluetooth HIDP implementation did not correctly check the length of received report messages. A paired HIDP device could use this to cause a buffer overflow, leading to denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or potentially remote code execution. - CVE-2018-9516 It was discovered that the HID events interface in debugfs did not correctly limit the length of copies to user buffers. A local user with access to these files could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. However, by default debugfs is only accessible by the root user. - CVE-2018-10902 It was discovered that the rawmidi kernel driver does not protect against concurrent access which leads to a double-realloc (double free) flaw. A local attacker can take advantage of this issue for privilege escalation. - CVE-2018-10938 Yves Younan from Cisco reported that the Cipso IPv4 module did not correctly check the length of IPv4 options. On custom kernels with CONFIG_NETLABEL enabled, a remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (hang). - CVE-2018-13099 Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported a use-after-free bug in the F2FS implementation. An attacker able to mount a crafted F2FS volume could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. - CVE-2018-14609 Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported a potential NULL pointer dereference in the F2FS implementation. An attacker able to mount a crafted F2FS volume could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). - CVE-2018-14617 Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported a potential NULL pointer dereference in the HFS+ implementation. An attacker able to mount a crafted HFS+ volume could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). - CVE-2018-14633 Vincent Pelletier discovered a stack-based buffer overflow flaw in the chap_server_compute_md5() function in the iSCSI target code. An unauthenticated remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service or possibly to get a non-authorized access to data exported by an iSCSI target. - CVE-2018-14678 M. Vefa Bicakci and Andy Lutomirski discovered a flaw in the kernel exit code used on amd64 systems running as Xen PV guests. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). - CVE-2018-14734 A use-after-free bug was discovered in the InfiniBand communication manager. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possible for privilege escalation. - CVE-2018-15572 Esmaiel Mohammadian Koruyeh, Khaled Khasawneh, Chengyu Song, and Nael Abu-Ghazaleh, from University of California, Riverside, reported a variant of Spectre variant 2, dubbed SpectreRSB. A local user may be able to use this to read sensitive information from processes owned by other users. - CVE-2018-15594 Nadav Amit reported that some indirect function calls used in paravirtualised guests were vulnerable to Spectre variant 2. A local user may be able to use this to read sensitive information from the kernel. - CVE-2018-16276 Jann Horn discovered that the yurex driver did not correctly limit the length of copies to user buffers. A local user with access to a yurex device node could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. - CVE-2018-16658 It was discovered that the cdrom driver does not correctly validate the parameter to the CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS ioctl. A user with access to a cdrom device could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel or to cause a denial of service (crash). - CVE-2018-17182 Jann Horn discovered that the vmacache_flush_all function mishandles sequence number overflows. A local user can take advantage of this flaw to trigger a use-after-free, causing a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or privilege escalation.

    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 azure kernel was updated to 4.4.155 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed : CVE-2018-13093: Prevent NULL pointer dereference and panic in lookup_slow() on a NULL inode->i_ops pointer when doing pathwalks on a corrupted xfs image. This occured because of a lack of proper validation that cached inodes are free during allocation (bnc#1100001) CVE-2018-13095: Prevent denial of service (memory corruption and BUG) that could have occurred for a corrupted xfs image upon encountering an inode that is in extent format, but has more extents than fit in the inode fork (bnc#1099999) CVE-2018-13094: Prevent OOPS that may have occured for a corrupted xfs image after xfs_da_shrink_inode() is called with a NULL bp (bnc#1100000) CVE-2018-12896: Prevent integer overflow in the POSIX timer code that was caused by the way the overrun accounting works. Depending on interval and expiry time values, the overrun can be larger than INT_MAX, but the accounting is int based.

CVE-2018-6554 A memory leak in the irda_bind function in the irda subsystem was discovered. A local user can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service (memory consumption). CVE-2018-6555 A flaw was discovered in the irda_setsockopt function in the irda subsystem, allowing a local user to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash). CVE-2018-7755 Brian Belleville discovered a flaw in the fd_locked_ioctl function in the floppy driver in the Linux kernel. The floppy driver copies a kernel pointer to user memory in response to the FDGETPRM ioctl. A local user with access to a floppy drive device can take advantage of this flaw to discover the location kernel code and data. CVE-2018-9363 It was discovered that the Bluetooth HIDP implementation did not correctly check the length of received report messages. A paired HIDP device could use this to cause a buffer overflow, leading to denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or potentially remote code execution. CVE-2018-9516 It was discovered that the HID events interface in debugfs did not correctly limit the length of copies to user buffers. A local user with access to these files could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. However, by default debugfs is only accessible by the root user. CVE-2018-10902 It was discovered that the rawmidi kernel driver does not protect against concurrent access which leads to a double-realloc (double free) flaw. A local attacker can take advantage of this issue for privilege escalation. CVE-2018-10938 Yves Younan from Cisco reported that the Cipso IPv4 module did not correctly check the length of IPv4 options. On custom kernels with CONFIG_NETLABEL enabled, a remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (hang). CVE-2018-13099 Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported a use-after-free bug in the F2FS implementation. An attacker able to mount a crafted F2FS volume could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2018-14609 Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported a potential NULL pointer dereference in the F2FS implementation. An attacker able to mount arbitrary F2FS volumes could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). CVE-2018-14617 Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported a potential NULL pointer dereference in the HFS+ implementation. An attacker able to mount arbitrary HFS+ volumes could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). CVE-2018-14633 Vincent Pelletier discovered a stack-based buffer overflow flaw in the chap_server_compute_md5() function in the iSCSI target code. An unauthenticated remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service or possibly to get a non-authorized access to data exported by an iSCSI target. CVE-2018-14678 M. Vefa Bicakci and Andy Lutomirski discovered a flaw in the kernel exit code used on amd64 systems running as Xen PV guests. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). CVE-2018-14734 A use-after-free bug was discovered in the InfiniBand communication manager. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possible for privilege escalation. CVE-2018-15572 Esmaiel Mohammadian Koruyeh, Khaled Khasawneh, Chengyu Song, and Nael Abu-Ghazaleh, from University of California, Riverside, reported a variant of Spectre variant 2, dubbed SpectreRSB. A local user may be able to use this to read sensitive information from processes owned by other users. CVE-2018-15594 Nadav Amit reported that some indirect function calls used in paravirtualised guests were vulnerable to Spectre variant 2. A local user may be able to use this to read sensitive information from the kernel. CVE-2018-16276 Jann Horn discovered that the yurex driver did not correctly limit the length of copies to user buffers. A local user with access to a yurex device node could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2018-16658 It was discovered that the cdrom driver does not correctly validate the parameter to the CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS ioctl. A user with access to a cdrom device could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel or to cause a denial of service (crash). CVE-2018-17182 Jann Horn discovered that the vmacache_flush_all function mishandles sequence number overflows. A local user can take advantage of this flaw to trigger a use-after-free, causing a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or privilege escalation. For Debian 8

    NASL idSUSE_SU-2018-2776-1.NASL
    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 kernel was updated to 4.4.155 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed : CVE-2018-13093: Prevent NULL pointer dereference and panic in lookup_slow() on a NULL inode->i_ops pointer when doing pathwalks on a corrupted xfs image. This occured because of a lack of proper validation that cached inodes are free during allocation (bnc#1100001). CVE-2018-13095: Prevent denial of service (memory corruption and BUG) that could have occurred for a corrupted xfs image upon encountering an inode that is in extent format, but has more extents than fit in the inode fork (bnc#1099999). CVE-2018-13094: Prevent OOPS that may have occured for a corrupted xfs image after xfs_da_shrink_inode() is called with a NULL bp (bnc#1100000). CVE-2018-12896: Prevent integer overflow in the POSIX timer code that was caused by the way the overrun accounting works. Depending on interval and expiry time values, the overrun can be larger than INT_MAX, but the accounting is int based. This basically made the accounting values, which are visible to user space via timer_getoverrun(2) and siginfo::si_overrun, random. This allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (signed integer overflow) via crafted mmap, futex, timer_create, and timer_settime system calls (bnc#1099922). CVE-2018-16658: Prevent information leak in cdrom_ioctl_drive_status that could have been used by local attackers to read kernel memory (bnc#1107689). CVE-2018-6555: The irda_setsockopt function allowed local users to cause a denial of service (ias_object use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an AF_IRDA socket (bnc#1106511). CVE-2018-6554: Prevent memory leak in the irda_bind function that allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by repeatedly binding an AF_IRDA socket (bnc#1106509). CVE-2018-1129: A flaw was found in the way signature calculation was handled by cephx authentication protocol. An attacker having access to ceph cluster network who is able to alter the message payload was able to bypass signature checks done by cephx protocol (bnc#1096748). CVE-2018-1128: It was found that cephx authentication protocol did not verify ceph clients correctly and was vulnerable to replay attack. Any attacker having access to ceph cluster network who is able to sniff packets on network can use this vulnerability to authenticate with ceph service and perform actions allowed by ceph service (bnc#1096748). CVE-2018-10938: A crafted network packet sent remotely by an attacker forced the kernel to enter an infinite loop in the cipso_v4_optptr() function leading to a denial-of-service (bnc#1106016). CVE-2018-15572: The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function did not always fill RSB upon a context switch, which made it easier for attackers to conduct userspace-userspace spectreRSB attacks (bnc#1102517). CVE-2018-10902: Protect against concurrent access to prevent double realloc (double free) in snd_rawmidi_input_params() and snd_rawmidi_output_status(). A malicious local attacker could have used this for privilege escalation (bnc#1105322 1105323). CVE-2018-9363: Prevent buffer overflow in hidp_process_report (bsc#1105292) CVE-2018-10883: A local user could have caused an out-of-bounds write in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), a denial of service, and a system crash by mounting and operating on a crafted ext4 filesystem image (bsc#1099863). CVE-2018-10879: A local user could have caused a use-after-free in ext4_xattr_set_entry function and a denial of service or unspecified other impact by renaming a file in a crafted ext4 filesystem image (bsc#1099844). CVE-2018-10878: A local user could have caused an out-of-bounds write and a denial of service or unspecified other impact by mounting and operating a crafted ext4 filesystem image (bsc#1099813). CVE-2018-10876: A use-after-free was possible in ext4_ext_remove_space() function when mounting and operating a crafted ext4 image (bsc#1099811). CVE-2018-10877: Prevent out-of-bound access in the ext4_ext_drop_refs() function when operating on a crafted ext4 filesystem image (bsc#1099846). CVE-2018-10881: A local user could have caused an out-of-bound access in ext4_get_group_info function, a denial of service, and a system crash by mounting and operating on a crafted ext4 filesystem image (bsc#1099864). CVE-2018-10882: A local user could have caused an out-of-bound write, a denial of service, and a system crash by unmounting a crafted ext4 filesystem image (bsc#1099849). CVE-2018-10880: Prevent stack-out-of-bounds write in the ext4 filesystem code when mounting and writing to a crafted ext4 image in ext4_update_inline_data(). An attacker could have used this to cause a system crash and a denial of service (bsc#1099845). The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    descriptionAccording to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - In the ea_get function in fs/jfs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.1, a memory corruption bug in JFS can be triggered by calling setxattr twice with two different extended attribute names on the same file. This vulnerability can be triggered by an unprivileged user with the ability to create files and execute programs. A kmalloc call is incorrect, leading to slab-out-of-bounds in jfs_xattr.(CVE-2018-12233i1/4%0 - The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c in the Linux kernel before 4.18.1 does not always fill RSB upon a context switch, which makes it easier for attackers to conduct userspace-userspace spectreRSB attacks.(CVE-2018-15572i1/4%0 - Race condition in the queue_delete function in sound/core/seq/seq_queue.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) by making an ioctl call at a certain time.(CVE-2016-2544i1/4%0 - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel
